Martial Arts is about Learning and Sharing the Knowledge

I have been in the martial arts for a long time now. And truthfully it was the best thing I ever did for myself and my family. The reasons why are just too numerous to mention here!

All of my children train or have trained in the arts up to at least the level of 1st Dan Black Belt, as well as my kids mom. Now everyone is all grown up, but 2 of them are still practicing / teaching in the arts.

So the benefits have been numerous for all of us. But how? Because as martial arts students first, teachers second we have also continued to pursue knowledge. Leaving the ego at the door of the training hall or dojo, to continue our person development. This is why we have been so successful as teachers and dojo operators.

Our egos don’t get in the way because we know we will never stop learning and then sharing this knowledge with out students.

Over 16 years ago I discovered the art and science of Kyusho Jitsu, and began to share this knowledge with my students in Canada, then others across the world. Why I am so successful doing this? Because I know I still have so much to learn!

Kyusho Jitsu, the art and science of pressure point self defense is a game changer, and equalizer in the real world of escalating violence we will in!

If you are concerned about personal safety, or are a martial artist looking to improve your skills, perhaps a master instructor operating a dojo wishing to give your students more, then get started NOW with our free Kyusho Jitsu Mini Course.

Understanding 2 Way Action

Time for understanding 2 Way Action. First do you realize Kyusho Jitsu, the science of pressure point self defense is really a science. Here is a definition of the word.

Science

NOUN

the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment:

This is how we study and learn as teachers and students of Kyusho jitsu. Science is NOT a DOGMA vomited forth by an authority like it is so often done today! It is the study of possibly and repeatable events or results.

The progress of Kyusho over the years has been very solid and steady. New things are discovered about the bodies reaction to stimulation all the time. This is why the study of Kyusho is so exciting for those of use seriously doing it. There is always something new!

Back in Kyusho’s humble beginning a pioneer of the arts, Professor Wally Jay brought something to Kyusho that revolutionized its effectiveness.

2 Way Action

That was 2 Way Action! Today 2 Way Action is a cornerstone of the art and study, but sometimes people have problems understanding and applying it! Without 2 way action you will fail to make many things work!

If you watch this video you will get a deeper understanding of 2 Way Action, along with the lost art of visualization. This will help you immeasurably with your training. Hence making things work easier for you.

Basics of Kata Interpretation

Kata Interpretation

The ​basics of Kata interpretation is one of many important aspects of Kyusho study. However, from a self defense standpoint there is a lot more! Now many of the very old Kata have some set interpretations and that is very cool! However, teaching someone to interpret something by showing them what it is, well that is not really teaching. Tradition is awesome, but in my view there needs to more.

Words matter, they are very powerful and they have BIG influence on your mind. The ability to defend yourself goes far beyond "style" and right into teaching and deprogramming certain beliefs some people can have.

What is a Block?

Are you aware that the term "block" is wrong? For many people, not everyone, if you teach them "block" they will not ever do it under pressure. If you use the word "strike" they will be more likely to do so. Therefore, the best method to teach for self defense is that every block is really a strike. The very definition of the word block messes up the connection between the conscious and unconscious mind.

An example is using a "down block" better called a "down strike" to redirect the kick. Redirect and block do not have the same meaning!

So how does all this relation to Kata Interpretation? Very simple, you teach the student, guide the student into seeing things themselves in the Kata, and not just telling them what is there! If they discover it, then a connection is made in the brain, and this increasing the likelihood of them being able to use said technique in real life.
